AJC pursues this mission by building global partnerships with political and religious leaders across all nations and faiths, legislative advocacy, and media outreach. Its global infrastructure, peerless level of credibility, and unrivaled level of access give AJC a unique opportunity to impact opinion and policy at the highest levels.

AJC’s 24 U.S. offices and 12 international posts—in key diplomatic hubs like Paris, Jerusalem, Brussels, and — ensure that AJC’s voice is heard everywhere.

AJC’s non-stop advocacy efforts are augmented by the Transatlantic Institute; Asia Pacific Institute; Africa Institute; Belfer Institute for Latino and Latin American Affairs; and Blaustein Institute for the Advancement of Human Rights. AJC MISSION & VALUES

Civil rights are not easily attained, and once attained they are easily lost. The preservation and extension of civil rights will depend in a large measure on such organizations as the American Jewish Committee, which throughout its history has championed the cause of tolerance and in so doing has contributed to strengthening American democracy. Harry S. Truman PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

The American Jewish Committee has been a significant presence at the United Nations from the beginning...By the time my organization was founded, yours had already spent nearly four decades as an advocate for Jewish civil rights and for human dignity in the broadest sense. Kofi Annan SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES

Inclusion of a human rights provision in the UN Charter was due to the brilliant leadership of the American Jewish Committee. James T. Shotwell PROFESSOR, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY WE WISH TO THANK OUR TRIBUTE COMMITTEE
